Interface KernelModule

All Known Implementing Classes:

RunModeController, ServiceManager, TaskScheduler

public interface KernelModule

The KernelModule interface has to be implemented by all kernel modules. Kernel modules are typically classes which are of general interest and must always be a part of the DRAGOS database.

Every kernel module has a role which can be used by other parts of the system to request a module from the module manager without knowing which class implements the requested role.
